I got this note today from one of my good Friends in the AF.

Can you say "Fraud, waste and abuse" boys and girls?

I thought you could.

As always, have at it.

I heard the price for the ‘First Family’..(blech) to visit the Grand Canyon was an ASTRONOMICAL amount.

Can this be verified and fact checked?
Is info on Presidential travel and related costs available to the public? if not, why not?

Yeah, this turd will run up at least a couple billion before we get rid of him. Remember, all this foreign travel is just a vacation trip also. He accomplish nothing but a sight seeing tour.

am not surprised at all...the media would be all over the previous administration if this had happened back then. We jumped through hoops at AAFB to make sure the presidential stuff was always taken care of first, and took great pride in doing so. But now I’m SO glad I’m retired...

spending like there is no tomorrow leads to ruin...isn’t that how our country got to the current economic state we’re in? Couldn’t he set a much better example if he were to try to be more fiscally frugal with the taxpayers’ money used to support his administration? I have no problem with security measures for his safety, nor do I have a problem with a special date for his wife—I do have a problem with excess though, and it seems that the mission could have been definitely streamlined. Oh well, what do I know, I’m just an old retired lady...

*Ping*

So, date night consisted of:

2 C-17’s flying three missions,

3 Lear jets,

5 Helicopters,

1 Presidential Motorcade,

44 US Marines, more than 20 USSS personnel on just our plane.

Who knows what it cost the NYPD and NY Port Authority (at the airport) in overtime.

These are the same people that chastised the automobile CEO’s for using their aircraft. It further proves that the media only use the facts that make the President look good and hide any facts that will detract from his persona.
